Going to fill out my CA ballot. Not sure if I'm checking Green or PSL.
Anyone got any idea on who would most likely reach 5%?

Joe Biden can get hosed.

I've been a big fan of PSL since 2012 but this election I'm voting for Howie because I really like the direction he's taking the Green Party. He's moving it away from a weird neo-luddite party with some solid ideas on social and economic justice and towards an ecosocialist party. I really want to reward that. Plus, the Greens have a much broader appeal than PSL. I'm fine with compromise in politics. :)

If Biden wins it will be considered to have happened in spite of the left who refused to rally around him, and people like Bernie will get zero credit for championing his campaign. Any criticism of Biden's administration from the left or calls for progressive policy will be shouted down as unrealistic, and in four years we'll get to hear about how this is the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER and we have to re-elect Joe/Kamala depending on who's still alive.

fun fact: the Luddites were a group of radical laborers specifically against the privatization of productivity gains due to improving technology, not against improving technology as such! :eng101:

So despite the contemporary use of "Luddite", one could say Howie is taking the green party more in line with the original Luddites :)

yeah I wouldn’t be voting green if they nominated Jill Stein again or someone like her. Howie had a similar “none of the party establishment wants him” path to the nomination as Bernie did within his own party, except the greens are way too small to ever pull off the moves the DNC did like the centrist voltron and using voters as human shields against Covid

I've said it before and I like hearing myself talk so I'll say it again: Whoever wins, we lose. But, whoever loses, we win.

California is most likely about to enshrine the second class citizen status of gig economy workers into our constitution because a bunch of companies went on a $200M PR campaign for it and the majority of voters are disengaged morons who don't engage with our prop system beyond what ads they see on TV.

Hello from Virginia. My dumb rear end wrote both Howie and Angela on the line because I've never written in a pres candidate before and didn't care to look it up.

I would feel much dumber voting for Biden though so there's that.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I have filled in my ballot. Dropped it in the mail. Did not vote for Joe.

Thinking about how I want to spend my NoJoe. Right now I am thinking about putting "JOΞ" in the write in field, so I can take a pic to piss a few people off, but I am worried that I might accidentally cast a ballot for Joseph Biden.

Looking forward to SCOTUS deciding in a 6-3 decision that a "JOΞ" write-in does not count, overturning a PA court decision, and resulting in Trump winning the EC by one vote in PA.

I thought of a new funniest possible outcome of the election today.

Biden narrowly wins the election, with it hinging on Wisconsin. The WI Green Party sues in federal court on the basis that their voters were disenfranchised due to the Democrats breaking the law, and the WI courts refused to enforce the law, despite precedent for that to be the outcome. The federal court orders a new presidential election for only Wisconsin, which leads to a Trump win.

Like, this is 100% fantasyland here, but I got a good laugh out of it for a while.
